I think you've identified the contenders, Wooch.

You might add the Hyundai Elantra Touring which is really as small station wagon.

Personally we'll be looking for a new car by this time next year. I'm looking at a small wagon, but maybe a little bigger than the Elantra Touring mentioned above. One contender for us is the Kia Rondo, but most of all we like the Mazda 5. My wife & I test drove this and it's really nice; also it's Consumer Reports top rated wagon ...
